 # Changelog
 
+## [5.8.8] — 2026-08-19
+
+*Follow-up bug fixes after the 5.8.7 audit, with cache correctness, Java source
+classification and budget diagnostics tightened without changing the public schema.*
+
+### Fixed
+- Dependency-analysis cache keys now include `.csproj` and `packages.lock.json`,
+  preventing stale .NET results from being reused across manifest changes.
+- Java discovery now excludes suffixed test modules such as `-test` and `-tests`
+  through the shared module classifier.
+- Analysis-budget warnings are emitted for below-floor budgets in noninteractive
+  runs, while above-floor provenance remains quiet off-TTY.
+- Documentation now records the exact follow-up commits and the remaining
+  environment-blocked fixtures instead of presenting them as unresolved code bugs.

+**As of 2026-08-19, HEAD `f39432b`:** the latest audit queue was implemented in fourteen
+post-5.8.7 commits. These are committed follow-up fixes, not a tagged release. This table is
+the authoritative status for round 11; detailed rows retain their original findings and
+acceptance criteria for auditability.

+| `C3-55` regression | **closed** | `f39432b`; above-floor provenance remains quiet off-TTY and is emitted interactively |
+
+The current full-suite exceptions are environmental or pre-existing measurement gaps,
+not silently accepted fixes: RIS tests cannot write the default `~/.sourcecode/cache`
+under the managed sandbox; `cold-start` therefore reports `no_ris`. The E-6 module-name
+publication fixture and the ASK-09 real-scale fixture still need a writable cache and
+their original fixture assumptions before they can be classified conclusively.
+
+The seven full-suite failures observed after these commits are tracked separately from this
+queue: polyglot dependency parsing, Java test-module exclusion, RIS/cold-start fixture setup,
+and the advisory-budget warning fixture. They are not silently counted as regressions or as
+closed defects.
+
+**Reading rule for the historical rows below:** their status text records the state at the
+time each audit entry was written. When a historical row says `open` but appears in the table
+above, the current status is the one in **Current Synchronization**; the original wording is
+retained only as evidence of what the auditor observed before the fix.

 | AS-18 | **The parse store's budget was published as a figure to size a disk by, and it is a floor of the guard, not a ceiling of the store.** The resting excess went 5,45 MB → 44,35 MB over the 512 MB budget and, followed across three further commands, **did not converge** (556,35 MB, steady). Nothing was lying — the policy is *"swept every 32 MB written"*, and with no writes there is no sweep — but whoever reserves disk on the published figure comes up 9 % short. | 5.8.0 re-audit (`ASK-15` in the roadmap; the auditor's own first reading, 96,18 MB, was retracted as transient and the row reclassified to low) | Low — a sizing defect, not an honesty one, which is exactly why the fix is disclosure | **closed 5.8.1** — `cache status` publishes `effective_ceiling_mb` beside the budget: `budget + sweep_interval × concurrent writers`, with the writer count read from the authority the parse pool resolves `--jobs` against, so the ceiling moves with the machine instead of restating a number. The basis names both terms and the reason the excess *rests*: the last interval before a process exits is never swept. `over_budget` (normal, bounded, expected) is now separated from **`over_ceiling`**, the only state that contradicts what we publish, and each carries its own note. `cache model` and `docs/CACHE.md` corrected from the same fact — the doc block is generated, so they cannot drift. Regression `tests/test_parse_store_effective_ceiling_ask15.py`, 8 assertions, including that a store with no budget publishes **no** ceiling rather than inventing one. |
 | B15 | **A write that could not finish left its temporary inside the caller's repository.** The payload goes to `.<name>.tmp-<pid>-<ns>` beside the destination and is renamed onto it — atomic, and correct — but when the rename failed nothing removed the temporary. Field matrix of five bad destinations on Windows: **13,9 MB of untracked files inside the repository** (2 757 334 B per attempt plus a 153 481 B `.partial`), as `??` in `git status`. Three edges came with it: a discard sink (`nul`, `NUL`, `CON`, `/dev/null`) was reported as an I/O error for successfully throwing output away; the OS `strerror` was interpolated into our English message, so the same matrix produced two `es-ES` messages and one English; and `-o ./missing/out.json` created the tree in silence while the hint told the caller to check that the directory exists. | 5.6.1 audit, re-reported and widened in the 5.7.2 audits | **High** — it is what breaks the read-only premise the product is sold on, and the auditor grades it blocking for any pre-CI security review | **closed 5.8.1** — one authority, `sourcecode.output_sink`. The temporary is removed in a **`finally`**, so the guarantee does not depend on enumerating the exit paths correctly (which is how five escape routes were missed). A discard sink answers `written: false`, `sink: "null-device"`, `exit 0`, is matched only on the platform that reserves the name (a POSIX file called `nul` is a file), and a run writing there keeps its checkpoint in the partials directory instead of `nul.partial`. The platform's message travels in `os_error: {raw, errno, errno_name, locale}`, never inside the contract sentence, and the error publishes `cleaned_up: [...]` — what the run took back with it, so "read-only" is checkable rather than trusted. Parent directories are created, deliberately, and the hint says so. `phased_run` writes through the same authority and registers its checkpoint as this run's, so a failed answer removes it. Regression `tests/test_output_sink_leaves_nothing_b15.py`, 12 assertions, including the end-to-end matrix leaving the tree byte-identical and a negative control that cleanup can only ever remove what this run wrote. |
 | ASK-10 | **A command with an output ceiling and no flag that can get under it.** `posture spring-boot` returned 355 032 B / `exit 0` in 5.6.1; the unified ceiling made it `exit 1` — the right call — and left no in-band way out: not `--limit`, not `--top-n`, not `--min-severity`, not `--compact`. The only routes were `--output FILE` (the answer leaves the reader's context) and `ASK_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=0` (the guard off). `exit 1` on **2 of 8** corpus repositories, and `thingsboard` returned `exit 0` in 5.7.2 — so the trap closes as the product improves: the growth was **better detection**, `unresolved` 64 120 → 184 864 B because conditional beans now name `@ConditionalOnExpression` instead of a generic reason. `validation` inherits it. | 5.7.2 audits, escalated to high and blocking by the 5.8.0 re-audit | **High** — structural rather than incidental: every future gain in exhaustiveness pushes another command at the ceiling | **closed 5.8.1** — `posture` and `validation` declare `--limit N` and `--compact`, both already in the ceiling's vocabulary, so the hint offers them without being taught (verified: with the ceiling forced, both now answer *"Use --compact …, --limit N …"*). Bounding is one authority, `sourcecode.output_bounds`: it walks the payload so a `--diff` answer is bounded on **both** sides, touches lists and never counts (`summary.unresolved` is an int under the same name), and every cut publishes the `*_cap` contract — `{total, shown, omitted}` plus the registered effect — because a flag that cuts without declaring the cut is B14 again. **Nothing is bounded by default**: a payload that shrinks silently between releases is what AS-16 was filed for. Measured: `posture keycloak-config-cli` 53 115 → 4 605 B under `--compact`, summary byte-identical. The invariant is now derived from the CLI registry (`tests/test_bounding_flag_registry_ask10.py`): a command that can exceed the ceiling and declares no bounding flag fails the battery until somebody decides, with `cli.COMMANDS_WITHOUT_BOUNDING` carrying the exemptions and their reasons — including, on the record, the repository-scale commands that have not yet been measured against the ceiling. Behaviour battery `tests/test_output_bounds_ask10.py`, 13 assertions. |
-| B4 | **`verify-edit` reported two repository-wide builds beside two empty lists, and nothing in the payload could explain them.** Reported as the empty-diff short circuit failing: clean worktree, `changed_files: []`, `changed_build_files: []`, `head_model_cache_hit: true`, `model_built: true`, 23 468 ms with `ASK_PROGRESS` never leaving *diffing working tree vs HEAD*. | 5.6.1 audit, re-reported through the 5.7.2 and 5.8.0 audits | High | **closed 5.8.1 — and the reported cause is not the cause.** Measured on BroadleafCommerce (2 985 `.java`) with a clean tree: **0,47 s, `model_built: false`** — the short circuit (C3-32 / C3-102 / AS-13) fires, and the row's stated acceptance (`< 2 000 ms`, `model_built: false`, `verdict: pass`) already held. The reported shape reproduces exactly with **one untracked `zz.yml`**: both lists empty, `model_built: true`, **16,3 s**. `_can_move_a_verdict` admits any suffix an axis may read — deliberately, since C3-14 — so a `.yml` that is not `application*` is neither a changed `.java` nor a changed build file, and appeared in **no** published list. The change set was never empty; the payload could not say so. `analysis.model_forced_by: {count, paths, reason}` is that sentence, and `basis` no longer reads *"0 changed .java file(s) and 0 changed build file(s)"* beside two full builds. Regression `tests/test_verify_edit_names_what_forced_the_model_b4.py`, 5 assertions, including the negative control that a changed `.java` file is not explained twice. ⚠ Still open and now separable: the two-build cost itself when a forcing path exists (the parse cache serves the parse; the IR assembly is paid twice), tracked as the profiling half. |

The check that decides it, before any tuning: whether `_can_move_a_verdict` admits `.claude/settings.json` — if it does, `model_forced_by` must have travelled in that payload and the open half is the cost, which is the profiling half above; if it did not travel, then the C1-27 exclusion (*a change under an editor or agent state directory is not a change to the code*) that `cold-start` applies through `baseline_autocapture.worktree_dirty_detail` is **not** the authority this command reads, and that is one fact with two authorities rather than a performance row. Measure it under `P1-proc` (six passes plus the control command), never from a single field clock on a cache that was cold at the start of that session. |
 | ASK-09 / B16-sv | **Three output-ceiling guards written outside the authority that owns them.** Reported as `endpoints`, `cold-start` and `posture` claiming *"No smaller inline variant is available with the current flags"* while `--compact` fits (10 194 B ≈ 2,5 K tokens). | 5.7.2 audits (corpus `ASK-09`, `saint-server` `B16-sv` — one row, two origin IDs) | High (corpus: medium) | **closed 5.8.5 — the fifth cycle diagnosed by measurement instead of by hypothesis, and the derivation given a second authority that no thread boundary can take away.** The ledger asked for the difference between our 241 041 tokens and the reporter's 241 394 to be found in *the environment or the entry point*, and for no third fixture. It was found in the entry point, and it was measured here, on `HEAD` before the fix: `output_ceiling.build_hint(None)` — the guard reached with **no Click context** — returned *"No smaller inline variant is available with the current flags; --output FILE …, ASK_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=0 …"*, the field's sentence byte for byte, about a command that declares two bounding flags. `_declared_and_used(None)` answered `([], set())` and the prefix rule spelled that **absence of a reading** as a **claim about the command**. Nothing about the repository, the size or the command was ever the subject; a `CliRunner` fixture always has a context, which is why nine batteries stayed green across three cycles. **Four things close it.** (1) **A second, context-free authority**: `output_ceiling.resolve()` reads Click's context first — the only source that can tell `--limit 50` from the 50 nobody typed — and the **command tree resolved from `sys.argv`** second, consulted only when the context produced no bounding flag at all, which is the signature of both failures the row suspects (no context; or a context pointing at a group or wrapper whose `params` are not the leaf's). The tree is registered by the entry point as a *provider*, so the Typer→Click conversion is paid only by a run already over the ceiling, and never on the answer path. (2) **Observability, which is the half the ledger said ends the cycle**: every `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` refusal — the emit seam, `repo-ir`'s stdout guard, `repo-ir`'s MB guard and `migrate-check`, all four — publishes `hint_basis: {derived_from, command, declared_flags, flags_already_passed, context_found}`, so **one** field run names which authority answered and what it read, instead of a fourth round of guessing. Enforced structurally: an `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` refusal in `cli.py` with no `hint_basis` fails the battery (AST-checked). (3) **A failed derivation fails loudly**: with nothing resolved, the hint opens *"The flags that would bound this answer could not be read from the running invocation, so this list may be missing a smaller inline view — check `--help` for the command"* and keeps the universal escapes, which hold whatever the command is. The *"no smaller inline variant"* sentence is now reserved for what it claims: a command that **was** read and declares nothing bounding, or whose bounding flags this run already passed. (4) **The collateral the row named**: `_flag_was_given` — which governs the `--force` bypass and the `--limit`-versus-`--output` reading — delegates to the same authority (`flag_was_passed`), so a run that typed `--force` and reached the guard off-context is no longer refused with its bypass silently removed. **Measured, before and after, through the real entry point** (`run_cli.py`, real ceiling, `click.get_current_context` degraded to `None` for the ceiling module only — the shape of the hypothesis, not a stub of the answer): before, the field's sentence; after, *"Use --compact …, --limit N …"* with `derived_from: "argv"`, `context_found: false`, and `--force` no longer refused on the same route. **And on the field's own subject**, `tutorials` @24 074 `.java`, no `ASK_MAX_*`, the real 50 K ceiling: `estimated_tokens: 241 527` — 0,06 % from the reporter's 241 394, so the same tree and the same payload — hint *"Use --compact …, --limit N …"*, `hint_basis.derived_from: "click"`, `context_found: true`. That is the reading this platform gives; the reporter's platform is where it degrades, and the refusal now carries the field that says which. Regression `tests/test_ceiling_hint_without_context_ask09.py`, 10 assertions, **verified red against `HEAD`** (6 failed, 4 errored) — the condition no `CliRunner` can produce, asserted end-to-end in a subprocess. ⚠ **What is still owed, and it is not a code change**: the acceptance run on Windows 11 / pipx against the real clone. It is no longer a blocking unknown — if the sentence reappears there, `hint_basis` names the cause in one run. **History of the reopening, kept because the row was closed twice on it:** **reopened 5.8.4 — fifth cycle, and the second closure declared against an artefact instead of against the reported subject.** Both 5.8.4 re-audits reproduce it, independently, on different machines. Corpus, Windows 11 / pipx / Git Bash, `tutorials` (24 073 `.java`, ~600 Maven modules), no `ASK_MAX_*` in the environment, no `tutorials/.ask`, the real 50K ceiling: `ask endpoints tutorials` exits 1 with the byte-identical *"No smaller inline variant is available with the current flags"* at `estimated_tokens: 241 394`, while `--compact` (44 973 B ≈ 11,2K) and `--limit 50` (65 038 B ≈ 16,3K) both exit 0 with 3–4× of margin and are both declared on `endpoints`. `saint-server` round 9 reports the same sentence from `cold-start` and `endpoints`, with `--compact` measured at 76 053 B and 10 230 B — **0,4 % of the payload the hint tells the caller to dump**. **The number is what makes this diagnosable at last**: our closure measured 241 041 tokens on the tree the reporter measures 241 394 on — 0,15 % apart, so it is the same repository and the same payload, and the difference lives in the environment or the entry point, not in the subject. That difference IS the finding. ⚠ **Do not build a third fixture.** Hypotheses for the agent that fixes this, cheapest discriminator first: (1) `exceeds()` calls `build_hint()` with no context, so `_declared_and_used` recovers it from `click.get_current_context(silent=True)`, which is **thread-local** — any emission that reaches the guard off the invoking thread, after the context is popped, or through a shim entry point sees `ctx is None`, gets `([], set())` back, and the hint degrades **silently** into the false sentence; a `CliRunner` fixture always has a context, which is exactly why every battery we own is green; (2) `ctx.command` resolving to a wrapper or group rather than the leaf command, so its `params` do not carry `--compact` — the reported environment is a pipx console script on Windows, which no run of ours covers; (3) a short-circuit deciding the hint before `ctx.command.params` is consulted, reachable only above a size no fixture reaches. **The fix that ends the cycle is not the sentence, it is the observability**: the `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` payload must publish what the hint was derived from — `declared_flags`, `flags_already_passed`, and whether a context was found at all — so one field run names the cause instead of a fourth round of guessing, and a context-less hint must fail loudly rather than claim *"nothing smaller"*, which is a confident falsehood in the exact sense this repository forbids. ⚠ The same context lookup governs `_flag_was_given("force")`, so the `--force` bypass is suspected to fail on the identical path and has never been exercised in the field. **Acceptance, unchanged and now carrying a platform**: `ask endpoints tutorials` with no environment variable names `--limit` and `--compact`, verified on Windows/pipx against a real clone (`git clone --depth 50 --single-branch https://github.com/eugenp/tutorials.git`), never against a synthetic repository. **What the 5.8.4 closure did buy, and it is real: the battery, and the `repo-ir` residue it uncovered.** History of both closures, kept because the row was closed twice on them: `tutorials` (24 073 `.java`), no environment variable, the real 50K ceiling: `endpoints` answers *"Use --compact …, --limit N …"* at `estimated_tokens: 241 041`, `cold-start` answers *"Use --compact …"* at 230 518, and `posture` does not arise — 134 431 B ≈ 33K tokens, `exit 0`, no hint at all. Three cycles of byte-identical text were measured against a build, not against this tree. **What the row's rewritten acceptance did buy is the battery**: `tests/test_ceiling_hint_at_real_scale_ask09.py` builds a repository that genuinely overflows (1 200 handler mappings, ~107K tokens), *discovers* the population by running every path-only command that declares a bounding flag rather than listing them, and asserts that no such command denies a flag it declares — parametrised by (command, repository), never by (command, artificial ceiling). It is verified red: forcing the *"nothing smaller"* prefix fails it. It also refuses to be vacuous — the fixture must overflow, the population must contain the two commands the field named, and the flag the hint offers must actually get the answer under the ceiling when run. ⚠ **The residue the old fixture could not see**: `repo-ir`'s stdout guard compared against a constant bound at import, so `ASK_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=0` — which `breaking-changes-v1` declares as restoring pre-5.7.0 behaviour *exactly*, and which `repo-ir`'s own hint offers — left it refusing while every other command printed, and its refusal published no `estimated_tokens`, no `ceiling_tokens` and no `estimate_basis`, so the number it refused on existed only inside an English sentence. Both now come from `output_ceiling.exceeds`, the authority: one refusal, one shape, one ceiling that the caller can actually move. Measured: `=0` now exits 0, a lowered ceiling bites, and the payload carries its measurement. **History, kept because the row was closed twice on it:** REOPENED 5.8.2 — the closure was verified against the wrong path: against the unified emit seam, with the ceiling forced, `endpoints` answers *"Use --compact …, --limit N …"* and `cold-start` *"Use --compact …"* — the derivation reads `ctx.command.params` and works. What did reproduce is the half the row itself names: `repo-ir` carried **two** hand-written hints (stdout and the separate MB guard on a written file) and `migrate-check` a **third**, `_migrate_check_output_hint` — a hand-maintained copy of `build_hint`, same list, same prefix rule. A hand-written escape list cannot know which flags the caller already passed, which is the reported defect seen from the other side. `output_ceiling` now owns the whole vocabulary: `--force` as a **bypass** (offered only where the command declares it), `--gzip` as a **file-only** bound, `ways_out(destination="file")` for the MB guard — where `--output FILE` is not an escape and the token env var does not apply — and the *"nothing smaller"* prefix decided by counting the **bounding** escapes rather than the sentence, so a command whose only remaining escape is `--force` no longer opens with "Use". `_migrate_check_output_hint` is deleted. Regression `tests/test_ceiling_hint_one_authority_ask09.py`, 7 assertions, two of which are structural: `cli.py` may not contain the prefix sentence, and every `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` hint in it must come from `build_hint` (AST-checked). ⚠ **Reopened by the 5.8.2 re-audits, which report it as `B16` (saint-server) and `ASK-09` (corpus) — one defect, two origin IDs, like `B16-sv` before it.** The fix landed and the *hint* half did not: `ask endpoints tutorials` (24 073 `.java`) still answers *"No smaller inline variant is available with the current flags"* at `estimated_tokens: 240 908`, while `--compact` (45 902 B ≈ 11,5 K) and `--limit 50` (66 765 B ≈ 16,7 K) both fit with 4× of margin and are both declared on `endpoints`. Byte-identical text since 5.7.2, third cycle. **The diagnosis is the valuable part and it is about our method, not the code**: the regression assertion forces a low ceiling (`ASK_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=1`) over a *small* fixture payload, and the path that fails is the *natural* rebase of a 240 K-token payload against the real 50 K ceiling — so the battery validates one route while the defect lives in another, and a green test certified a defect the field reproduces in three consecutive cycles. `posture` received `--limit`/`--compact` in the same release this row was closed in and *does* answer correctly, which is why the derivation looked proven. Suspected: a short-circuit that decides the hint before `ctx.command.params` is consulted, reachable only at a size the fixture never reaches (compare `ASK_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=2000 ask endpoints <small>` against `ask endpoints <24k-file repo>`). **Acceptance, restated so the same closure cannot repeat**: the hint names `--limit` and `--compact` with an unforced ceiling on a repository that genuinely exceeds 50 K, and the regression is parametrised by `(command, repository)` over a fixture that really overflows — never by `(command, artificial ceiling)`. ⚠ **The owed acceptance run is no longer owed: both 5.8.5 re-audits certify the closure from the outside, one of them on the exact platform the row could never reach.** Corpus cycle 8, Windows 11 / pipx / Git Bash, `tutorials`, no `ASK_MAX_*`, real 50 K ceiling: `estimated_tokens: 241 394` — the same number as the four failing cycles, so the same tree and the same payload — now answering *"Use `--compact` …, `--limit N` …, `--output FILE` …, `ASK_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=0` …"*, and the reporter records the root cause as ours: *"el hint no negaba los flags: negaba haber podido leerlos, y la regla de prefijo convertía «no leí nada» en «no hay nada»"*. `saint-server` round 10 certifies the **derivation** rather than the sentence, which is the half that was not asked for: `cold-start` names `--compact` and **not** `--limit` because it declares none, `endpoints` and `validation` name both, and each offered flag is measured actually getting under the ceiling (`cold-start --compact` 76 324 B; `endpoints` 10 230 / 13 534 B; `validation` 6 982 / 10 684 B against 961 077 B unbounded, −99,3 %) — *"la introspección de Click funcionando en las dos direcciones"*, with the inverse error (naming a flag the command does not have) explicitly checked for and absent.

Read literally, whole modules had left the audit population; measured, the exclusion was *conservative* (3 650 excluded against 4 214 files actually under a test root). The auditor filed an over-exclusion false positive on the strength of the field and then withdrew it. Cause: the constructor's fallback named `parts[0]`, the first path segment, when no source-root marker matched — and the same published field had **two constructors** with different shapes and different `basis` strings (`cli.py` for `spring-audit`, `repository_ir.py` for `endpoints`) over the one authority both already shared. | 5.7.2 audits | Low — a reporting defect, not an exclusion one, which is why it cost an auditor a round instead of costing a finding | **closed 5.8.1** — one producer, `repository_ir.excluded_test_source_detail`, beside `is_test_source_file`, which is the authority that decides the fact. `patterns_matched` can now only hold a **declared test root** — a directory whose files are excluded in their entirety — and everything else is published as a `rules_matched` census with a `rules_meaning` sentence per rule, so a per-file rule can no longer be read as a whole-directory claim. A surface counting something other than files says so (`unit`, `files_matched`), because `endpoints` counts route annotations. Regression `tests/test_test_source_exclusion_one_producer_ask12.py`, 14 assertions, two of them structural: `cli.py` may not compose the key at all, and exactly one function in `repository_ir.py` may (AST-checked). |

And trimming goes by **weight**: a section already under 2 KB is kept rather than dropped by a fixed list, which is what recovers `hotspots`; everything actually removed is named with its size in `compact_omitted`.

Now every store in `cache status` publishes `base_env`, from one authority (`cache._STORE_BASE_ENV`), the text answer prints *«<path>  ($VAR moves it)»* beside each one, `stores.base_env_note` states the consequence rather than the layout, and `docs/CACHE.md` carries a **column** instead of a sentence covering both.

Five of the six now name a command — `migration-blast-v1` → `migrate-check`, `spring-impact-v1` and `event-topology-v1` → `impact-chain`, `test-gap-ranking-v1` → `impact`, `hibernate-strategy-v2` → `migrate-check`/`migrate-recipe` — and the sixth, `canonical-ir-v1`, is reached from **28 modules**: naming every command would be less true than naming none, so it publishes `substrate` with the count and the instruction to match on `subject`. A declared producer still wins, because some producers are not one registered command (`ask (root)`, `baseline capture`). Regression `tests/test_schema_producers_derived_b21.py`, 33 assertions, parametrised by the registry so a fourteenth unnamed shape fails the battery. **History:** open, and named rather than shipped as a fact: every `BC-002` row with an empty producer list carries `emitted_by_basis` — *«not declared in the registry: this shape's producing command is not named yet, so match on `subject`»* — so the gap is visible instead of being read as a negative claim. What remains is to fill the six, and the honest way is derivation rather than six more hand-written strings: the producer is discoverable from the command that constructs each payload, which is the same authority every other population in this repository comes from. Until then the assertion in `tests/test_schema_rename_window_b20.py` holds the weaker invariant a reader can rely on: a row either names its emitters or says why it cannot. |

Round 10 on 5.8.5 measures `timeline --since HEAD~5` at **~198 000 ms against the 5.7.2 record of 155 950 ms (+27 %)** — the only gate-shaped command over 120 s that is not there structurally (`delta` 191 s and `contract-diff` 115 s walk two whole trees, `compare` 46 s walks N candidates; `timeline` walks **five** trees and costs more than `delta` does with two). | 5.8.2 → 5.8.5 re-audits (residual of `C3-128`, which closed the attribution half in 5.8.5) | Low-Medium — an investigation command rather than a CI gate, and the last performance figure of the round sitting outside its own best | **closed 5.8.6 — by not paying twice for what does not change.** A metric at a commit is a pure function of that tree, and the tree at a sha never changes: the only cache in this product whose key can be exact rather than heuristic (analyzer fingerprint + metric + commit sha). `timeline_cache.SampleCache` stores measured values under the per-repository core store, and when every watched metric for a sample is a hit the tree is **never materialised**, which is the 13,8 % the split attributes to git. Measured on BroadleafCommerce over the same range: **26 845 ms → 12 ms**, samples and transitions byte-identical. What makes it admissible rather than merely fast, all asserted: a failed sample is never stored (one bad run cannot become permanent), the fingerprint is in the key (corrected analysis is never served from a previous release), the hit is published (`sample_cache`, `from_cache` per sample, and `cost` separates the cached population from the measured one instead of reporting a median over both), and `--no-cache` / `ASK_TIMELINE_NO_SAMPLE_CACHE=1` measure everything again so the command stays measurable without emptying a store (E-37). `cache_model` carries the layer, so `cache model` and `docs/CACHE.md` state it from one authority. Regression `tests/test_timeline_sample_cache_c3_129.py`, 11 assertions. **History:** open — and it opened with the answer already published, which is why it is cheap to attack and expensive to leave: `timeline`'s own `timings` say **82,9 % `measure:posture`, 13,8 % `materialise_tree`, 3,3 % `release_tree`, 0,0 % unattributed**. So this is not a `timeline` defect at all: it is `posture` paid five times over five materialised trees, and it makes the same substrate question `C3-127` asks — with the difference that here the five payers are one command, so the cache is intra-invocation and needs no cross-command contract. ⚠ **Do not reopen `B7`**: cross-tree cache reuse is healthy, the v3 assertion passes at 6,8×. Acceptance: `timeline --since HEAD~5` back inside +10 % of 155 950 ms on the audited corpus with `timings` still summing to 100 %, and `measure:posture` falling as a share rather than the total falling for an unnamed reason. |

Two consequences, and the second is worse than the report's: the first branch — *the refusal denies a smaller view while declaring flags*, the half that would catch the defect the row exists for — **can never fire**, because the string it matches is in a key it never reads; and any non-zero exit that is **not** `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` (a `--no-write` refusal, an invalid input, a crash) falls to the `not basis` branch and is published as `ASK-09 fail`. The field's 4,42 s against an `endpoints` that costs 6,5 s warm on that repository is consistent with the second path, and the probe cannot tell the reader which it took. Acceptance: the probe asserts the observed `error.code` **is** `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` before evaluating anything else, answers `not_applicable` **naming the code it saw** when it is not, reads `hint`/`hint_basis` from the document the emit seam actually writes, and carries one battery case per branch — fits under the ceiling · refuses correctly · refuses badly · failed for another reason. The last case is the regression: a row that cannot distinguish *the assertion is false* from *the run did not happen* is not a ledger. |

Bounding lives in `phased_run`, and only three commands hand it a deadline: `spring-audit` (`cli.py:9699`), `risk` (`cli.py:10630`) and `audit-report` (`cli.py:11008`). The budget is therefore a **phase-runner** contract published as a process-wide one — `cache_model.py:657` prints it as *«bound and narrate a run where CI wants an explicit budget»* with no scope beside it. Acceptance, either half: the CIR build itself honours a deadline, so a budget bounds every repository-wide command and a truncated build declares itself the way `risk` does; **or** the surface names the population it bounds, derived from the registry rather than a hand list, and every command outside it publishes `analysis_budget.applies: false` with the reason. Until one of the two ships, no gate can be timed by this variable, and the help must not imply it can. |
+| B25 | **`data-exposure` cannot tell *no labels declared* from *labels declared and unusable*.** The same malformed declaration (`dataLabels` as a dict, `customSecurityAnnotations` as a list of strings) is diagnosed exactly by `ask config . --config X.json` — *«`dataLabels`: not_a_list — expected a list of label declarations, found dict»*, *«declared and unusable»* — and reported by `ask data-exposure . --config X.json` as *«no labels declared — nothing measured»*. | 5.8.7 audit (round 11, `BUG-03`) | Medium — the user declares labels, is told nothing was declared, and concludes the differential feature of the product does not work | **open** — the validator exists and already produces the right sentences; what is missing is that its **result**, not its count, reaches the payload. `data-exposure` evaluates an emptied list after the parser has dropped the invalid entries, and loses the reason with them. Acceptance: a declaration that parses to zero usable labels answers `zero_result_reason: "declaration_invalid"` and carries the same warnings `config` prints, keyed to the same declaration; a declaration that is genuinely absent keeps today's sentence. One authority for *is this declaration usable*, two readers. |
+| B26 | **The first number a new user reads is labelled `all languages` and is below the single-language count of the same tree.** `ask onboard .` and `ask prepare-context onboard .` say *«3 337 source files (all languages)»* on a repository where four independent methods count **3 342** `.java` (`find`, `git ls-files`, `find ./src`) and where `cache warm`, `selftest` and `spring-audit` all publish 3 342 — with 3 317 `.ts` in a sibling module besides. | 5.8.7 audit (round 11, `BUG-04`) | Medium — low functionally, high in trust: it is the first figure a newcomer sees and it is contradictable in five seconds | **open** — ⚠ **the reported cause is already decided and is not the defect.** C1-19 ruled that these are three legitimate populations, and `migrate-check.metadata.files_scanned_basis` names all three by their figures (3 337 / 3 336 / 3 342) precisely so they stop reading as drift. What survives is narrower and is real on both halves: the **label** is false — a count that excludes anything is not *all languages*, and one arithmetically below a single language's count in the same tree cannot be it (`summarizer.py:154-156`) — and the **basis lives in another command's payload**, so the two commands a newcomer runs first are the two that publish the figure without it. Acceptance: the sentence names the population it counted (or counts every language and says so), and the basis travels beside the number in the command that prints it, not only in `migrate-check`. |
+| B27 | **The route into an external baseline history exists and no surface names it.** Under `ASK_READONLY=1` the round concluded that *«la única función de series temporales exige contaminar el repositorio»*: `ask baseline capture . --dir /external` writes, `ask baseline diff . --baseline /external/<sha>.json` compares, and `ask baseline trend . --dir /external` / `--baselines /external` answer `INVALID_INPUT: No such option`. | 5.8.7 audit (round 11, `BUG-05`) | Low — reported High; downgraded on measurement, with the disclosure half intact | **open (discoverability), premise refuted.** `trend` and `baseline trend` take the history directory **as their positional argument**: `_resolve_history_dir` (`cli.py:8508-8523`) uses a directory that already holds baselines as it is, so `ask trend /external` is exactly the read the round wanted and the time series is reachable without writing a byte into the repository. `--dir` is a spelling those two commands do not have, not a capability they lack. What is defective is the surface on both ends: the root help publishes the location as *«`<repo>/.ask/baselines/` (or `--dir`)»*, which reads as a flag every baseline command takes; and `trend`'s own `INVALID_INPUT` for an empty history names `ask baseline capture` and never the directory route it accepts. Acceptance: the two commands accept `--dir` as an alias of the positional (C4-25's rule — an alias, never a rename), and the refusal names the external-directory route it already supports. This is also the residual of **F-AX**: the auditor-on-somebody-else's-repository case is served, and reads as unserved. |

Remedy: derive from the build number, and keep the raw `platform.release()` beside it rather than replacing it. |
+| C1-49 | **A summary field named after the population it does not count, beside a note that counts it.** `validation.summary.endpoints_with_body: 0` on a repository with **1 252** body-carrying endpoints — the same payload's `note` states the 1 252, `gaps` lists them one by one with `reason: body_endpoint_without_declared_constraints`, and 840 `@RequestBody` were verified by hand in the source. | 5.8.7 audit (round 11, `BUG-11`) | Medium — the behaviour is correct and documented; the name is the defect, and a name is what a consumer reads | **open** — the reconciliation half shipped as DR-4 (`45631a1`, `validation_pattern.scope_note`: the summary counts the *declared-constraint* surface, the pattern counts the body surface), and the round confirms the prose is right. What no `scope_note` can fix is `jq '.summary.endpoints_with_body'` answering `0` on a repository with 1 252 of them, which is the dashboard case this product exists to be trusted in. Acceptance: publish `endpoints_with_declared_constraints` as the literal name of what that field counts and `endpoints_with_body` with its literal meaning; the old key stays until the window says otherwise, because renaming an emitted key in silence is the incompatible change `ASK-11` and `BC-002` exist to govern — this goes through `breaking-changes-v1` with a target version, like every other one. |
+| C3-130 | **`plan` and `cold-start` pay the whole analysis and then refuse to print it.** `ask plan IGenericService .` → 35,4 s consumed, then `exit 1` with `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` (*«Estimated output is ~77K tokens … No smaller inline variant is available with the current flags; --output FILE to save»*); the identical run with `-o` costs **30,8 s** and writes 311 647 B. | 5.8.7 audit (round 11, `BUG-12`) | Medium — the work is done, correct, and thrown away, on the reading of the tool's own size policy | **open** — `repo-ir` already does the right thing and is the precedent: it estimates from file count × bytes-per-file and refuses in 0,6 s with a stated band (C3-18, C3-111). `plan` and `cold-start` measure the payload **after** serialising it, so the refusal costs the run. Acceptance, in preference order: (a) where no smaller variant exists and the only missing thing is a destination, write to a temporary file and name the path — the reader gets the answer instead of losing 35 s; (b) failing that, an ordering estimate before the analysis, from a population the command already knows (matched symbols × mean bytes), with its basis published the way `repo-ir`'s band is. Either way the estimate is a floor with its basis, never a confident byte count. |
+| C4-27 | **A fuzzy flag suggestion that points at an unrelated flag is worse than none.** `ask plan IGenericService --path .` → `INVALID_INPUT: No such option: --path (Possible options: --depth)`. Edit distance 3 over 6 characters, and no semantic relation whatsoever. | 5.8.7 audit (round 11, `BUG-08`) | Low | **open** — threshold the suggestion (distance ≤ 2 and a shared prefix or concept) and omit the parenthesis when nothing qualifies. In this exact case the correct sentence is the one C4-25 owns: *`--path` does not exist here; the repository is the positional argument* — so the suggester should defer to the grammar authority before guessing at spelling. |
+| C4-28 | **One write in the catalogue confirms itself with nothing on stdout.** `ask fix-bug . -o out.json` → stdout 0 bytes, stderr 0 bytes, `rc=0`, and 50 450 bytes correctly on disk, while `ask verify . -o`, `ask pr-impact . -o` and `ask baseline capture . --dir` each print a sentence naming the path and the headline count. | 5.8.7 audit (round 11, `BUG-09`) | Low — a script that treats non-empty stdout as the success signal fails silently on this one command | **open** — and the population is four commands, not one: 41 of the 57 `_emit_command_output` call sites pass a `success_msg`; the shared `prepare-context` seam (`cli.py:6358`) passes none, and `fix-bug`, `onboard` and `review-pr` all delegate to it. The C3-122 fallback receipt does fire, but it is a `_notice` — stderr and TTY-gated **by decision** (C3-26: a stderr write from a native command breaks a PowerShell capture), so off-TTY silence is what it was designed to produce. Acceptance: the seam carries a sentence per task on stdout, like every other write, and the affordance battery derives its population from the registry so a new task on that seam cannot ship without one. |

Reproduced at HEAD | 4.15.0 (eval #20) | Low — but it is the ledger's own subject matter, a surface describing itself wrongly, and `facts-v1` is the registry this ledger tells readers to consult | **closed 4.17.0** — the registry names itself (`registry_version`), so the listing, the dispatch and the rejection read one value and none carries a literal: the message says *schema or registry*, `expected` enumerates both and the hint quotes them. SC-02 asserts the two surfaces agree, so a second registry cannot be listed and left out of the rejection |
 | C4-23 | **One guard, two units: the error says 50 MB and the flag that bypasses it says 50 K tokens.** `repo-ir` refuses with *"Estimated output is 34-96MB for 3339 files, above the 50MB ceiling for a written IR"*, and `--force` documents itself as *"Bypass the token-size guard … even when estimated tokens exceed 50K."* A reader cannot size `--max-nodes` without running the command and reading the error | 5.3.1 (audit #28) | Low | **closed 5.4.0** — both, and the conversion is that there is none: they are two guards over two destinations, a context window and a disk, and both are named from their constants wherever either is. The stdout ceiling got a name (`_IR_STDOUT_CEILING_TOKENS`) instead of a literal at the branch. Original remedy note: one unit, taken from the guard that actually fires; if both are real, publish both and the conversion between them |
 | C4-24 | **Two documents this build points at as authorities are not distributed with it.** `ask --help` sends the reader to *"full reference in docs/USER_GUIDE.md"* and `ask version` publishes `build.known_defects: "docs/DEFECT-LEDGER.md records what this version is known to get wrong"`. Neither file ships in the package. The ledger is the sharper miss: it is offered as the authority on the known defects of the installed version, by a product whose central claim is traceability of what it knows and does not know | 5.3.1 (audit #28) | Low-Medium — ninth appearance of the C4 shape, and the first where the unreachable document is this one | **closed 5.4.0** — hatch `force-include` puts the repository's own file in the wheel (copied by the build, so there is no second copy to drift) and `sourcecode.bundled_docs` resolves the pointer from what is packaged, saying so when a build does not carry it. The battery reads the wheel manifest, so a document a surface names and the package stops shipping fails the build. Verified by extracting the built wheel. Original remedy note: ship them in the wheel, or point at a URL the installed build can resolve; and derive the pointer from what is packaged, so a document that stops shipping fails the battery rather than the reader (the C4-1 rule) |
-| C4-25 | **One concept, seven spellings — and it produced 5 of the evaluator's 11 usage errors.** The same idea (*which tree, which ref, which subject*) is spelled `--since`, `--base-ref`/`--head-ref`, `--dir`, `-b <file>`, a bare positional, `--files` and `-t` across sibling commands. This is the residue P2-G named and left open (*unify arg conventions*), now measured from outside: the most experienced possible reader, running the full catalogue with the help in front of them, got the grammar wrong on five commands | 5.3.1 (audit #28) | Medium — 98 % catalogue coverage was reached in spite of the grammar, and every one of those errors is a first-run failure for a new user | **closed 5.4.0** — nothing renamed, every change an accepted alias: `--base-ref` also takes `--since`, `verify --baseline` also takes `-b`, `--dir` and `--history-dir` accept each other. The worse half is closed too — `--files` meant two argument shapes under one name, and `_resolve_files_option` is now the one reader for all three shapes on every command that has it. `tests/test_cli_grammar.py` derives the population from the registry and holds five declared, reasoned exceptions; a stale exemption fails as loudly as a missing alias. Original remedy note: the population comes from the CLI registry, not a hand-written table: one battery over every command's parameters asserting that a given concept carries one spelling, with the exceptions declared and reasoned (the `COMMANDS_WITHOUT_COPY` pattern). Renames keep the old spelling as a deprecated alias |

That is exactly where the round tripped: `plan --path` and `compare --path` against a positional repository (`--path` is not in `_CANONICAL` at all), `review-pr --files` (`--files` exists on `pr-impact`, and `_resolve_files_option` reads all three shapes, but the flag was never added here), and `baseline trend --dir` (the concept is `out_dir`/`history_dir`, and `trend` declares neither — see `B27`). Acceptance for the residual: the battery asserts over **concepts × commands that take that concept's subject**, so an omission fails as loudly as a divergent spelling; `--path` joins `_CANONICAL` as an accepted alias of the repository positional; `review-pr` accepts `--files`. Aliases only — nothing renamed, per the closure above. |
 | C4-26 | **`enrich` answers the CVE question and nothing leads a reader to it.** `trivy fs --format sarif -o cves.sarif` → `ask enrich . --sarif cves.sarif` answers *"of N CVEs, which sit in code reachable from an unauthenticated request"* — the ranking a Java 8 / Boot 2.7.18 repository needs most, since the raw list is unmanageable. Verified working in audit #28 against a synthetic SARIF: 1 of 2 results enriched, the other correctly `unresolved` with a reason. The capability is in the build, the `--help` describes the case, and no surface joins the two ends of the pipe | 5.3.1 (audit #28) | Low-Medium — the tenth appearance of *the capability exists and the surface does not lead to it* | **closed 5.4.0** — the pipeline is in the command's own help, on `--sarif` itself, and in the guide's section, with the reason it matters on a repository whose raw CVE list is unmanageable. Original remedy note: publish the pipeline where a reader meets the problem (the `enrich` help's first line, the guide's security section), with the scanner named as an example and the coordinate rule quoted from `remedies` rather than restated |

The round also proves what earlier rounds could only assert: the repository is **byte-identical** afterwards — `git status`, `HEAD`, reflog, no `.ask/`, no config file, no hooks — with the one exception the auditor disclosed themselves, the tool's own cache outside the repository. |
 | 5.3.1 → (this queue) — audit #28, **the first round run under a written non-persistence protocol, and the round that finds the worst defect in this ledger** | the same subject (`saint-server @ 3dde037`, branch `banyan-v2`, 3 342 Java files / 6 947 sources / 3 574 endpoints, Boot 2.7.18 / Java 8) under `ASK_READONLY=1` + `--no-write` with every output written to a scratchpad: **113 instrumented invocations, 50 of 51 non-prohibited commands (98 %), 97 exit 0, 16 non-zero of which 11 were the evaluator's own usage errors and 5 intentional product guards, zero crashes, zero tracebacks, zero hangs**, repository byte-identical at the end, and the two irreversible divergences (the cross-repository parse cache, the shared CIR) declared rather than hidden. **8,41/10** on a seven-dimension weighted rubric. 16 claims cross-verified line by line against source: **13 correct, 3 wrong** | rows opened: **E-3 · C1-44 · C1-45 · C2-32 · C3-114 · C3-115 · C3-116 · C3-117 · C3-118 · C3-119 · C4-23 · C4-24 · C4-25 · C4-26**; capabilities admitted in **Amendment U**: F-BK … F-BO; carry-over recorded as **CL-30** | **The finding is a number, and it is ours: 1 955 of 3 574 endpoints — 54,7 % of the HTTP surface — published `none_detected` with a live gate in source (E-3).** The evaluator did not report a symptom; they built a Java parser, validated it 15/15 against hand-checked cases, and produced the census that attributes the defect to one lookup — a handler whose mapping is declared on an abstract superclass is indexed under the declaration, and the gate is on the override. It propagates to eight commands, runs in the unsafe direction, and **retires this repository's own most-quoted figure**: *"2 635 endpoints with no policy"* is really ≈659. Two rows underneath it are the same shape one level down — a taint join keyed on a bare statement id that puts a non-exploitable OGNL ternary at rank #1 (C1-45), and a declaration file whose unusable keys run clean through the two fields the schema publishes for exactly that (C3-116). **Against that, what held**: 98 % catalogue coverage with no crash, every guard that fired firing correctly, and the honest-degradation culture visible in the places it cost the product a point — `generate-tests` saying in words that empty is not *nothing found* while overshooting its own budget by 88 % (C3-118). Their sentence for the feature half is the roadmap: *"un producto que se vende por decir siempre de dónde sale cada afirmación tiene su mayor punto ciego exactamente en la afirmación que más pesa"* — which is F-BN, and which would have made E-3 obvious in one command |

+> |---|---|---|
+> | `BUG-01` `selftest` marca `ASK-09` fail contra evidencia que lo refuta | **`B23`** (nueva, alta) | ⚠ **el hallazgo real es peor que el reportado, y está leído en HEAD**: `_check_ask09` (`selftest.py:119-151`) lee `hint` en la raíz del sobre mientras el emisor lo anida bajo `error` — medido aquí con `ASK_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=1` sobre `tests/fixtures/test_gap_ranking`: `error.hint` presente, `hint` en raíz ausente, `hint_basis` en raíz presente. Así que la rama que **sí** cazaría el defecto de la fila no puede dispararse nunca, y cualquier salida ≠0 que no sea `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` se publica como `fail`. La pista del auditor (asertar el código de error primero) es correcta y no basta |
+> | `BUG-02` `ASK_MAX_ANALYSIS_SECONDS` se aplica en unos comandos y no en otros | **`B24`** (nueva, alta) | ⚠ **premisa corregida: no hay check que ignorar.** `_enforce_analysis_budget` (`cli.py:1622`) **avisa y nunca acota** — eso es `C3-55`, decidido y correcto — y la acotación vive en `phased_run`, que sólo reciben tres comandos: `spring-audit`, `risk` y `audit-report`. Es un contrato de *phase runner* publicado como si fuera de proceso. Los 3 ERROR de la tabla del informe (`cache warm`, `enrich`, `timeline`) son esta fila, no tres fallos |
+> | `BUG-03` `data-exposure` dice «no labels declared» sobre etiquetas declaradas e inválidas | **`B25`** (nueva, media) | el validador ya existe y ya emite las frases correctas — `config` las consume. Falta propagar el **resultado**, no el recuento |
+> | `BUG-04` `onboard`/`prepare-context` cuentan 3 337 «all languages» | **`B26`** (nueva, media) | ⚠ **la causa reportada ya estaba decidida**: `C1-19` dictaminó que son tres poblaciones legítimas y `migrate-check.metadata.files_scanned_basis` nombra las tres cifras (3 337 / 3 336 / 3 342). Lo que sobrevive es la **etiqueta** (`summarizer.py:154-156`) y que la base vive en el payload de otro comando — justo los dos comandos que un recién llegado ejecuta primero |
+> | `BUG-05` `trend` inalcanzable sin escribir en el repo | **`B27`** (nueva, **baja**, degradada desde alta) | ⚠ **premisa refutada leyendo el fuente**: `trend` y `baseline trend` toman el directorio de historia **como posicional** (`_resolve_history_dir`, `cli.py:8508-8523`), así que `ask trend /externo` es exactamente la lectura que la ronda quería. Lo que falta es `--dir` como **alias** y que el `INVALID_INPUT` nombre la ruta que ya acepta. Residuo de `F-AX`: el caso «auditor sobre el repo de otro» está servido y se lee como no servido |
+> | `BUG-06` `verify-edit` 145,6 s para decir «sin cambios» | **`B4`** (re-report en la fila, no fila nueva) | **no se reabre por ese número**: la segunda medición ofrecida (63,3 s con cap 5) no dice nada porque el cap no acota este comando (`B24`), y 145 s sobre 3 342 ficheros es el coste de dos builds — que es **el reproductor de la propia fila** (16,3 s con un `.yml` untracked). El check que lo decide: si `_can_move_a_verdict` admite `.claude/settings.json` y si `model_forced_by` viajó en ese payload. Se mide bajo `P1-proc`, no con un reloj de campo sobre caché fría |
+> | `BUG-07` inconsistencia de flags entre comandos hermanos | **`C4-25`** (re-report en la fila) | la fila cerró en 5.4.0 con batería; lo que la ronda destapa es un **hueco de población**: `tests/test_cli_grammar.py` recorre los parámetros que los comandos **declaran**, así que un comando al que le falta el concepto entero es invisible. Ahí cayeron los cuatro intentos (`plan`/`compare --path`, `review-pr --files`, `baseline trend --dir`) |
+> | `BUG-08` sugerencia fuzzy engañosa (`--path` → `--depth`) | **`C4-27`** (nueva, baja) | umbral ≤2 y, si nada lo cumple, omitir el paréntesis. La respuesta correcta la posee `C4-25` |
+> | `BUG-09` `fix-bug -o` escribe sin línea de confirmación | **`C4-28`** (nueva, baja) | la población son **cuatro** comandos, no uno: el seam compartido de `prepare-context` (`cli.py:6358`) no pasa `success_msg` (41 de 57 sitios sí lo pasan), y el recibo de `C3-122` es un `_notice`, silencioso off-TTY **por decisión** (`C3-26`, PowerShell) |
+> | `BUG-10` `selftest` publica Windows 10 sobre Windows 11 | **`B28`** (nueva, informativa) | `selftest.py:389` usa `platform.release()`; el discriminador es el build (`>= 22000`). Cosmética, pero cae sobre el campo que existe porque la diferencia de `ASK-09` era ambiental |
+> | `BUG-11` `endpoints_with_body: 0` junto a 1 252 | **`C1-49`** (nueva, media) | la mitad de reconciliación shipeó como `DR-4` (`45631a1`, `scope_note`) y la ronda confirma que la prosa acierta. Ningún `scope_note` arregla un `jq '.summary.endpoints_with_body'`. El renombrado va por `BC-002`/`ASK-11`, con ventana — nunca en silencio |
+> | `BUG-12` `OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE` se evalúa tras computar la respuesta | **`C3-130`** (nueva, media) | `repo-ir` ya es el precedente correcto (`C3-18`/`C3-111`: estima antes, 0,6 s, con banda). Preferencia: si no hay variante menor y sólo falta destino, **escribir a temporal y nombrar la ruta** en vez de tirar 35 s |
+>
+> ⚠ **`B22` se salta a propósito**: la numeración vieja de las evaluaciones de
+> campo la usó (ver `CL-27`/`CL-28`, mapeada a `C3-107`). Las filas de esta ronda
+> son `B23`–`B28`.
+>
+> ### La cola de latencia no abre filas nuevas
+>
+> La primera sombra del informe (`verify-edit` 145,6 s · `audit-report` 190,9 s ·
+> `contract-diff` 100,3 s · `ask --agent` 91,4 s) se registra bajo las filas que
+> ya la poseen — `B4`, `C3-129` y **`P1-proc`** — y **no como medición válida**:
